Heirloom Transformations
Heirloom jewels offer a rare glimpse into the past, rich with family history and enduring memories. While they may not always suit your personal style or seamlessly fit into your life, Cassandra understands their deeper significance. With a discerning eye, she is devoted to reimagining these jewels, transforming them into treasures you will cherish for years to come.
Heirloom Transformation Stories
A legacy reimagined
When two sisters inherited a cherished family brooch from their grandmother, they desired something they could wear every day to honour her memory. Cassandra presented an exquisite solution: transforming segments of the brooch into stunning necklace pendants. These pendants hang gracefully from chains adorned with diamonds from the original brooch, creating a sophisticated and wearable tribute to a beloved grandmother.
An heirloom's renaissance
A recent client showed Cassandra an heirloom diamond brooch, a piece seldom worn due to its antiquated style. With a keen eye for timeless beauty, Cassandra collaborated with the client, meticulously incorporating the brooch’s diamonds into an existing Cassandra Goad design. The result was a breathtaking necklace pendant which seamlessly blends heritage and modernity, ensuring the resulting jewel would be cherished for generations to come.
"It is a joy to see jewels once cherished by a loved-one rejuvenated and worn once more. Bespoke work offers this chance to breathe new life into jewels, as they pass down from generation to generation."
Cassandra
A heirloom watch with a story
A client inherited this exquisite gold watch encrusted with blue sapphires and diamonds from her beloved grandmother. While the watch was a beautiful reminder of her effortlessly elegant grandmother, the watch remained unworn for years, a cherished heirloom that just was not suitable for modern life.
A transformation that cherishes its history
In consultation with the client, Cassandra removed the gemstones and remounted them into a circular pendant which echoed the watch face. This heirloom transformation enabled our client to keep her memories of her grandmother close to her heart every day.
A thoughtful rejuvenation
At Cassandra Goad we ensure our heirloom projects pay homage to the past while looking forward to how a jewel can be re-imagined for modern wear. With her expert gemmology and design knowledge and continual abundance of creativity, Cassandra will re-imagine antique jewellery for new life phases and styles, rather than allowing it to remain hidden in a jewellery box.
